Keepit welcomes Fahad Qureshi as new VP of Sales for Americas and ANZ regions
Qureshi brings deep sales expertise and strategic vision to spearhead Keepit’s growth across crucial regions.
Copenhagen, Denmark—November 22, 2024 — Keepit, the global leader in SaaS data protection, is pleased to announce the appointment of Fahad Qureshi as the new Vice President of Sales for America and ANZ. In his new role, Qureshi will spearhead Keepit’s growth across these crucial regions, bringing his deep sales expertise and strategic vision to accelerate Keepit’s footprint in the Americas and beyond.
Qureshi joins Keepit from Lumafield, where he served as Head of Sales. Prior to Lumafield, he was at Qumulo, a leader in file data management for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, where he dedicated nearly eight years to growing the company’s enterprise presence. With additional experience from key roles at Maginatics and GroupLogic, Qureshi brings over 15 years of industry knowledge, including a track record in building scalable, cloud-based data solutions and driving revenue growth across the globe.
The addition of Qureshi underscores Keepit’s commitment to strengthening its presence in America and ANZ, regions that hold a significant strategic focus for the company. Qureshi’s goal is clear: To build on Keepit’s success and establish the Americas as a leading market for Keepit’s cloud-native data protection solutions. His approach is centered on creating a partner-first organization, expanding Keepit’s team, and delivering reliable, scalable data security to enterprises across industries.
“Keepit’s product is technologically superior and an important reason why I’m thrilled to join the team,” said Fahad Qureshi, Keepit VP of Sales, America and ANZ. “Another is the company’s position: Unlike the typical approach of building a US presence before expanding to Europe and the rest of the world, Keepit already has a proven model in other markets. That gives us a strong foundation to build on in the US—it’s a goldmine of opportunity. I look forward to showing organizations across the US, Canada, Latin America and ANZ how they can sleep easier at night, knowing their data is safe with Keepit.”
With ambitious growth targets, Qureshi aims to triple Keepit’s US-based ARR, expand the company’s partner network, and position Keepit as the primary choice for data protection among enterprises in the Americas. “My goal is to make the US the leading region in the company. We’ll be purposeful about building relationships with the right partners, and I encourage my team to always be front-of-mind for our partners: Never have coffee alone, never have lunch alone. We’re going to plant the Keepit flag across the region,” Qureshi added.
Commenting on the appointment, Keepit’s Chief Revenue Officer, Craig Bumpus, said, “It’s a great pleasure to welcome Fahad to the team. He has the vision, energy, and management style we need to accelerate the most important region in the company. I’m confident he’ll help us all reach the next level and maximize our potential.”
